Port Adhoc, marina management in Europe

The Group in a few figures

  • 10,000 berths
  • 8 marinas in France and the Netherlands
  • 3 dry ports in France
  • 2 mixed ports in France

Port Adhoc, European leader

  • 1st private port manager in France
  • 1st private port manager in the Netherlands

Founded in 2004, Port Adhoc develops and operates marinas. The Group currently owns and operates 11 sites, 7 of which are in France and 4 in the Netherlands.

The Group's history began with the design and construction of a network of 4 ports (3 dry ports and 1 mixed port). It is now continuing with the integration of already mature ports (6 afloat ports and 1 mixed and multiservice port), with different occupancy regimes (full ownership, concessions, leases). In just a few years, the Group has become one of the leading operators of private marinas in France and Europe. Following the opening of our port of Paimpol in 2005, its first dry port, the Group has rapidly expanded throughout the French coastline. In 2019, Port Adhoc completed its first European operation with the acquisition of the group Port Adhoc Nederlanda portfolio of 3 afloat ports in the Netherlands. The Group made a second acquisition in the Netherlands with Jachthaven Lelystad Haven in March 2021, followed by a third in January 2023 with the acquisition of Deko Marina Lelystad.

Port Adhoc becomes a European network
Port Adhoc becomes a European network through the acquisition of the Thuishavens group of premium marinas in the Netherlands. The three marinas making up the network will be joined in 2021 by a fourth marina in Lelystad Haven, and a fifth in 2023 in Lelystad (Deko Marina).
2019
2023
Thuishavens becomes Port Adhoc Nederland
The Dutch marinas Thuishavens change their name to Port Adhoc Nederland: an important step in the development of the new European marina network Port Adhoc. This rebranding is the logical consequence of the process of consolidating a unique network of marinas in Europe.

Technology

Intelligent terminals have been developed by Port Adhoc and its partner SICAME. They are connected to the port management software and allow better control of fluid consumption and better detection of faults.

Equipped ports :

Port Adhoc has deployed a full-web commercial management solution which is in production in all the ports of the network. It allows the digitisation of the harbourmaster's office services and interconnection with the port's equipment.

Equipped ports: all ports of the Port Adhoc network (France and the Netherlands)

The racked boat storage model is sustainable because it takes up less space than a wet dock, racks are light and dismountable infrastructure, it also involves less maintenance for the boats (careening, painting, etc.) and it improves the durability of the boats and their equipment.
